1) Veterans with identified barriers to employment
2) Special disabled Veterans with 30% or more service connected disability or discharged with a disability
3) Recently separated Veterans within 36 months of separation from active duty
4) Campaign Veterans who have an authorized campaign badge for conflict
5) Other eligible persons in accordance with Title 38 USC Chapter 42, Section 4211

Veterans applying for VSTP funding must also meet the eligibility guidelines under the Workforce Investment Act. For more information, contact the Veterans Representative.
